Weather/Cancellation Policy:Mahwah uses a group text/e-mail communication method whereby all participants will receive a text and/or e-mail approximately 1-2 hours prior to game time to alert the players if a game is on or off due to inclement weather.

Coaches can receive information regarding the condition of all rinks by calling Mahwah's commissioner of roller hockey.

WEATHER POLICY REGARDING PLAYING GAMES:

"COLD" Temperature Game Policy The league recommends using 20 degrees Fahrenheit as the "cold" temperature reference point, but certainly not as a hard and fast measurement. For instance, it may be colder than 20 but without wind, and so a game may be playable. However, it may be 25 and windy, and that game may be unplayable.

Above all, your decision to play or cancel should be made based upon the safety of the players, coaches and referees taking part in the game. Only the Mahwah Commissioner can make this determination--coaches do NOT have authority to call any games.
